oldypigeonpopper Posted July 13, 2022 Report Share Posted July 13, 2022 Hello, there's a difference between killing in combat to murdering unarmed civilians with hands tied and make false reports, the Australian X solder gave a good account of this, saying all this Putin's solders are still murdering innocent civilians Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rem260 Posted July 13, 2022 Report Share Posted July 13, 2022 Probably just as accurate as when the BBC backed the stories on the deaths of Iraqies and kept on running it on Victoria Derbyshire. Then it was proved that the witnesses had been paid for their testimonies by the law firm attempting to sue the MOD. Never heard the BBC apologise for it. The BBC hate the British armed forces.

I saw the programme last night and have to say I can fully understand why such things happen. Does not make it right and when we try to claim the high ground our case is undermined.

pigeon controller Posted July 13, 2022 Report Share Posted July 13, 2022 We have seen previously on BBC documentaries where Afghans have fired at troops on patrol then dropped the weapon so under the laws of engagement they can not be shot at. Personally if I was taking a prisoners back into his home to check for weapons and he went to pick an object up I would shoot , using night vision and then walking into a dwelling with lights is another concern due to distractions. We expect these elite troops to operate in the most arduous conditions and then criticise the methods used IT’S A WAR!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BBC as a whole. Just look at how much coverage they give to Armed Forces day. Then compare it to coverage of a Pride event.

Together with hours of royal family drivel. The BBC is made up of a whole series of separate units and it also buys in content. I cannot see how such a concerted response could emerge in the way you describe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not going to trawl through all the TV listings for the month of June - to get stats for you Grant - but a lot of programmes that aired had large doses of LGBTQ+ - and I don't watch much terrestrial TV - but even my wife commented on how bad it was - and even Gay friends have commented on it!!

Vince Green Posted July 17, 2022 Report Share Posted July 17, 2022 (edited) A lot of former members of the Regiment saying its all rubbish . It's not what the SAS is about. Not cost / risk effective to put a four man SAS team into a village to bump off some local tribal leader Edited July 17, 2022 by Vince Green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
